BMW once branded itself as the creator of the ‘ultimate driving machine’, which is a pretty bold claim, however its high-performance, driver-centred designs certainly deliver. The level of popularity and desirability that BMW has achieved is astonishing and the brand has truly made its mark on the automotive industry.
If you are in the market for a new car, the good news is that you can’t go too far wrong with this Bavarian manufacturer, but with such a vast range of models, it is easy to get overwhelmed when it comes to deciding which BMW is the right one for you. Here is a bit of a breakdown of the BMW cars on offer.
BMW Saloons
BMW’s saloons are the foundations of the brand. With spacious and high-quality cabins and exceptional horsepower, these models offer an exhilarating ride. The 3 Series is the smallest but you still won’t be wanting for room, and its slender body makes it agile and great to drive. The BMW 5 Series is a powerful, premium midsize car which is packed with tech and offers masses of storage space, while the luxury 7 Series saloon is the peak of automotive opulence. If you crave speed and power, look to the fierce M3 and M5 performance models, capable of breathtaking acceleration.
BMW Tourings
BMW’s 3 Series and 5 Series Touring models will appeal to adventurous drivers who like to need plenty of storage space for luggage or sports equipment. They are agile, dynamic and comfortable.
BMW Convertibles
There’s nothing like driving with the top down in the summer, and while it may not quite be the prime time of year to slide down the roof yet, it will be worth the wait in BMW’s 4 Series and 8 Series convertibles.
BMW Coupes
BMW’s coupe models offer exceptional performance and handling as well as impeccable style. The BMW 2 Series, 4 Series and 8 Series coupes are luxurious inside and they would be right at home on the motorway, the race track, or winding country roads. For even more power, try the M4 and M8 Competition coupes.
BMW Roadsters
The BMW Z4 is a sleek sports car which has brought the brand a lot of commercial success. It strikes the perfect balance between driving enjoyment and practical enough for everyday use.
BMW SUVs
Take BMW’s tried and tested formula for smooth handling and performance and throw in the storage capacity and practicality of a 4x4 and you’ll have an award-winning combination, as proven by the manufacturer’s range of sports utility and sports activity models. The X1 is agile enough to easily manoeuvre in tight spaces, the X3 is capable of tackling harsh terrain with a sense of decorum, the X5 is opulent and powerful, while the X7 offers ample room for larger families. The BMW X2, X4 and X6 models on the other hand merge the best parts of SUVs and coupe’s to create a stunning range of crossovers.
BMW Hatchbacks
The only hatchback currently offered by BMW is the 1 Series, which is a small car perfect for driving around town but equally capable on higher-speed roads. There’s plenty of space for passengers in the cabin and luggage in the boot and you can opt for a three-door or five-door model.
BMW EVs and PHEVs
Many of the models previously mentioned are available with plug-in hybrid powertrains, and BMW also offers a range of all-electric vehicles including the subcompact BMW i3, the i4 Gran Coupe, the i4 M50, and the iX, iX3 and iX M60 SUVs.
